The Nature of Beauty

After sitting in my house for the bulk of the day due to snow and cold weather, cabin fever started to take over. Out of boredom, I headed to my kitchen and begin whipping up several beauty products. Less than two hours later, and straight from my kitchen, I had an avocado scalp cream, avocado facial moisturizer, brown sugar scrub, and a cocoa body polish. All great for the body and perfectly edible! I used both the facial and body scrub on myself, and the scalp cream for my daughter. This morning, my skin looks and feels good, and my child's hair is shining.

Now, if you are not quite into homemade beauty products just yet, here are some natural products/brands that I've tried over the years and loved. They are safe to use, earth-friendly, and winning products if you have sensitive skin. I have listed my favorites, but these lines consists of many more great products.

Moroccan Red Clay - hair and beauty treatments

Red clay is one of my recent discoveries. I came across the name numerous times while surfing the Internet, and only read great reviews. I decided to make a purchase a few months back, and finally put this clay to use. Most of you know that I have tried several clays, and have been satisfied with each one. I try to keep them on hand and tend to use them more for my hair than for my face or body. My favorite clays are Indian clay and Kaolin clay. Simply add water, aloe vera juice, and/or apple cider vinegar, and you've created an instant paste. The amount of liquid used will of course be based on what you're creating; facial, hair conditioner, foot application, etc. Red clay can also be used on the body, head to toe. It has been used for centuries- across the world. Tackle blemishes or create cleaner and clearer skin. Alleviate acne, discoloration and create youthful skin. If you are suffering from any of...

Shower Steamers

If you're a big fan of showers, plus love aromatherapy, than shower steamers are a must-have. So quick and simple to make, and the benefits are pretty amazing too. While showering and doing whatever it is that you're doing in the shower, you can easily multi-task and take on a mind blowing aromatherapy treatment. I love lavender for relaxing, and eucalyptus when I'm feeling ill. How about lemongrass for an early morning pick-me-up, or perhaps, just because you want your bathroom to smell like flowers as you're showering. My homemade steamers (lemongrass, cucumber melon, and lavender). I keep mine in a sealed tight bag until they are ready to be used. This ensures the scent is locked in. Because the steamers can be somewhat pricey in the stores, maybe consider making them at home for pennies. Here are a few options, that offer a variety of scent concoctions, and a little creativity too if inter...
